PICK OF THE NEWS
GLOBAL
NEW FROSTY FRUIT FLAVOURINGS
D
awn Foods has launched
two new limited edition
Super Fruity Frostings –
Apricot and Blueberry – to
add to its comprehensive range of
frostings and icings.
The new flavours are an ideal
way to tempt customers with fresh
new spring and summery flavours
and vibrant colours for tempting
display.
As with all Dawn Baker’s Select
frostings and icings, the new range
contains all natural colours and
flavours and no artificial trans fats
or hydrogenated fats.
They are easy to use straight
from the pail so that bakers can create
delicious and indulgent products in
seconds.
Baker’s Select Frostings are easy to
pipe onto cupcakes, use as sandwich
cake fillings or tray bake toppings.
They have a long ambient shelf life
and are also freeze-thaw stable for
convenience and a 6kg tub yields
up to 200 cupcake toppings.
Says Dawn Foods Marketing
Manager Jacqui Passmore: “Try
experimenting with different piping
nozzles for specific effects such as
a bird’s nest or classic swirl, a
simple spiral or just spread with a
palate knife for that home-made
feel.
“You could also try combining
two frostings in a piping bag to
create a two-tone swirl effect for
greater consumer appeal.”
Other flavours in the Dawn Foods
Bakers Select range of frostings
include traditional Vanilla and
Chocolate, Strawberry, Raspberry,
Orange, Lemon, Toffee, Coffee and the
increasingly popular Cream Cheese
Frosting.

£21M FOR RESEARCH INVESTMENT
our new research centres, that
will develop new ways of
manufacturing in the fields of
electronics, laser use in
production processes, medical devices
and food production, have been
awarded a total of £21 million
Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council (EPSRC) grant
funding as part of a £45 million
package of investments in
manufacturing research announced
today by David Willetts, Minister for
Universities and Science.
Speaking ahead of the BIS
Manufacturing Summit, Willetts said:
“The UK has a proud history of
manufacturing but to build on this
success industry needs access to the
very latest science and technology.
This £45 million package of
investment will see our world-class
research base investigating innovative
new manufacturing equipment and
techniques. This will support our
F
6
industrial strategy in a range of
important sectors, driving growth and
keeping the UK ahead in the global
race.”
The new Centres, which will begin
work later in the year, will involve
academics from 15 universities across
the UK and over 60 project partners
from industry.
EPSRC currently supports 12
centres across a wide range of fields,
from Additive Manufacturing to
Industrial Sustainability to
Continuous Manufacturing and
Crystallisation. These four new
centres bring the total to 16.

million
EPSRC’s Chief Executive,
Professor David Delpy said: “EPSRC
Centres of Innovative Manufacturing
are building on previous investments
we have made in the research base
and combining academic innovation
with industry knowledge.
“These new centres are in areas
that are strategically important to the
UK and the work there will push
research boundaries and drive
growth.”
